When we moved in the house had 3 bedrooms upstairs. What was supposed to pass for a 3rd bedroom was more like a closet. 4 years ago we knocked down the wall between that small room and the second bedroom to make a bigger master. That left the original master open. We had remnants of furniture from past apartments in there along with all the random stuff we didn't know what to do with. Basically a junk room. When we had the occasional guest we would quickly try to make it as neat as possible but really it was just terrible. It was one of those projects that just seemed to keep getting pushed back because we really had no immediate use for the room. A couple of months ago we finally got the motivation to clean it out. We got rid of or donated what we didn't need and found a home for the rest. I always feel so much better, and somehow lighter, when I get rid of 'stuff'. Clutter drives me crazy which is why the door to this room was always closed. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I don't have any photos documenting the space as it was.
We didn't want to put too much money in to it but I wanted to make it more inviting. At least something nice to look at when coming up the stairs. I brought Greg along on a Target shopping trip and we picked up some odds and ends that we thought would work. Here is where we ended up.
The walls need to be painted and there's still a remnant of that bubblegum pink on the radiator but definitely an improvement. This room gets direct sun in the morning and I love walking up the stairs to see the light pouring in. It makes me happy.
